During various experiments, on one occasion activation from the File menu actually opened the gtk file dialog, but the file selection did not work. The command line and message was:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$emacs-snapshot-gtk --enable-font-backend --font "Monospace-9" (emacs-snapshot-gtk:24345): GLib-WARNING **: g_main_context_prepare() called recursively from within a source's check() or prepare() member. Repeating the same actions immediately afterwards did not open the dialog, but instead resulted in the usual "Fatal error (6)Aborted" -- crashes on file load https://launchpad.net/bugs/76109 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
